Behavior of 'afterok' in cloud clusters
by Thompson, Hoot (GSFC-606.0)[ADNET SYSTEMS INC] 30 Jan '25

30 Jan '25

The behavior of slurm jobs using the ‘afterok’ dependency seems to have issues with ephemeral compute nodes such as those in a cloud cluster. If the specified jobid dependency is associated with a compute node that has already spun down then a subsequent job that requires successful completion of the prior job will fail with a “Job dependency problem”. This occurs when the subsequent job is tied to a node that must spin up before beginning execution. This phenomenon does not occur if the ‘afterany’ dependency is used. It seems that job completion status is retained when a node is spun down but no information as to whether the job was successfully executed is saved. There are perhaps other scenarios that coud cause the same issue. Has anyone else witnessed this problem? How can it be avoided? afterany This job can begin execution after the specified jobs have terminated. aftercorr A task of this job array can begin execution after the corresponding task ID in the specified job has completed successfully afternotok This job can begin execution after the specified jobs have terminated in some failed state afterok This job can begin execution after the specified jobs have successfully executed

Optimizing CPU allocation in Slurm with hyperthreading enabled
by Guillaume COCHARD 30 Jan '25

30 Jan '25

Hello, The Slurm documentation states that "The default allocation method within a node is cyclic allocation (allocate available CPUs in a round-robin fashion across the sockets within a node)." In our case, we are using hyperthreading, which means that if two jobs requesting one CPU each arrive at the same time on an empty node, they will be assigned to the two threads of the same physical core. To improve performance, we would like Slurm to allocate CPUs (in our case, threads) in a way that prioritizes using one thread per physical core first, and only once all cores are occupied, assign the second thread of each core. This would be similar to the Least Loaded Node (LLN) approach, but instead of distributing jobs across nodes, it would distribute them across physical cores (Least Loaded Core). We do not want to disable hyperthreading; we simply want to optimize core usage when a machine is not fully loaded. We also want this to be a cluster-wide setting, and not a user and/or job setting. Our current slurm.conf contains: ConstrainCores = no SelectType = select/cons_tres SelectTypeParameters = CR_CPU_MEMORY And our cgroup.conf contains: ConstrainDevices=yes ConstrainCores=yes Does anyone know how to achieve this? Thanks, Guillaume

Cloud elastic help
by mark.w.moorcroft＠ama-inc.com 29 Jan '25

29 Jan '25

I have a new Slurm setup in AWS gov cloud that is not quite working. I will list a few factoids and maybe someone can suggest where to look next. The Troubleshooting page really has nothing relevant for elastic cloud deployments. The nodes are getting set to DOWN+CLOUD+POWERED_DOWN. Running a job does not launch a node in this state. I can force the nodes to launch with scontrol POWER_UP. The jobs will claim to run, then re-queue, but never complete. When the nodes boot I see them appear in slurmctl, but it soon reports connection lost. The node slurmd claims to be healthy, but the controller eventually just terminates them. You can ping in both directions with the hostnames. I've done 4 clusters. The first was torque/maui and the rest were slurm, but all were bare metal. This is my first attempt at cloud. We have ITAR data, so I can't use Amazon Parallel Computing because it is not offered in GovCloud. https://cluster-in-the-cloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/running.html I had to fork this project because so much is obsolete, but it's mostly working for me now. https://github.com/mntbighker [root@mgmt ~]# journalctl -fu slurmctld Jan 29 19:16:15 mgmt.many-antelope.citc.local slurmctld[3403]: slurmctld: debug: sched/backfill: _attempt_backfill: 1 jobs to backfill Jan 29 19:16:45 mgmt.many-antelope.citc.local slurmctld[3403]: slurmctld: debug: Updating partition uid access list Jan 29 19:16:45 mgmt.many-antelope.citc.local slurmctld[3403]: slurmctld: debug: purge_old_job: job file deletion is falling behind, 1 left to remove Jan 29 19:16:45 mgmt.many-antelope.citc.local slurmctld[3403]: slurmctld: debug: sched: Running job scheduler for full queue.

Adding a permanent node Feature to slurm in AWS parallelcluster
by luigi＠scorzato.it 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

I need to add a node Feature to my SLURM AWS parallel-cluster I understand from here: https://groups.google.com/g/slurm-users/c/LgL6hq3XxzE that to add a node feature permanently I have to edit slurm.conf, because the effects of the command: scontrol update NodeName=[node(s)] AvailableFeatures=[comma separated list of features] will not persist after restart (besides, I could not find how to ADD a feature without deleting the existing AvailableFeatures). However, AWS parallelcluster slurm.conf already includes files that contain lines like: NodeName=nn77[1-100] CPUs=2 RealMemory=186777 State=CLOUD Feature=dynamic,g4dn.large,gpu Weight=1000 Gres=gpu:t4:1 which is automatically generated and should not be edited. What is the recommended way to add a feature without breaking the parallelcluster set up? My I put somewhere something like NodeName=nn77[1-100] Feature+=cascadelake ? thank you!

Automate job lmod environment setup based on node
by Daniel UB 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

Greetings ! We're using Slurm 23.11.8 in a small cluster . The control node shares via NFS the directory /clusterprograms with the compute nodes (using the same name as mountpoint) to provide access to available software. The users are instructed to use lmod<https://lmod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/060_locating.html> (module load/avail/purge) to setup their job's runtime environment. We have the software and modules at /clusterprograms distributed like this: /clusterprograms/ ├── common ├── gpu/ │ ├── cuda8/ │ └── cuda10/ └── cpu/ ├── intel/ └── amd/ We configured the /etc/profile.d/ directory on each node so ,when we access them directly (via ssh) the paths used by module (MODULEPATH) are only these: * /home/<user>/modulefiles * /clusterprograms/common/modules * /clusterprograms/<processor vendor or cuda version>/modules The exception is the control/login node, which only has /home/<user>/modulefiles and /clusterprograms/common/modules The issue we have now is this: We are looking for a safe and practical way to automate the reconfiguration of MODULEPATH<https://lmod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/077_ref_counting.html> in the compute nodes when a job is submitted. For now, the only method that is "working" is the following TaskProlog script, but it forces the users to load the modules inside the scripts that may be called by srun steps, rather than being able to load them in the job base step: #!/bin/bash if [[ -n "${SLURM_JOB_CONSTRAINTS}" ]]; then echo "export ORIGINAL_MPATH=${MODULEPATH}" IFS=',' read -ra JOB_ARCH_CONSTRAINTS <<< "$SLURM_JOB_CONSTRAINTS" for constraint in "${JOB_ARCH_CONSTRAINTS[@]}"; do case "${constraint}" in cuda*) echo "export MODULEPATH=/clusterprograms/gpu/${constraint}:${MODULEPATH}" ;; intel-*) echo "export MODULEPATH=/clusterprograms/cpu/intel/${constraint}:${MODULEPATH}" ;; amd-*) echo "export MODULEPATH=/clusterprograms/cpu/amd/${constraint}:${MODULEPATH}" ;; esac done fi Is there any better way to do this ? How is that it doesn't work if we use Prolog ? I tried using the --export option but it doesn't work, since the control node has MODULEPATH set via the main shell profiles.

Problems with slurmdbd on Ubuntu 24.04

Hello, Last weekend, I updated my server to ubuntu 24.04 and instead of using my own compiled version of slurm, I switched to the version (23.11.4) that comes with Ubuntu 24.04. Since then, I have been having problems with slurmdbd. I get the following error message: slurmdbd: error: issue making get_lineage procedure slurmdbd: accounting_storage/as_mysql: init: Accounting storage MYSQL plugin failed slurmdbd: debug2: wsrep_on=0 slurmdbd: error: Couldn't load specified plugin name for accounting_storage/mysql: Plugin init() callback failed slurmdbd: error: cannot create accounting_storage context for accounting_storage/mysql slurmdbd: fatal: Unable to initialize accounting_storage/mysql accounting storage plugin My /etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf looks like this: AuthType=auth/munge DebugLevel=debug5 DbdHost=localhost DbdPort=3306 StorageLoc=slurm_acct_db StoragePass=<password> StorageType=accounting_storage/mysql StorageUser=slurm SlurmUser=admina PluginDir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/slurm-wlm ArchiveEvents=yes ArchiveJobs=yes ArchiveResvs=yes ArchiveSteps=no ArchiveSuspend=no ArchiveTXN=no ArchiveUsage=no AuthInfo=/var/run/munge/munge.socket.2 PurgeEventAfter=1month PurgeJobAfter=12month PurgeResvAfter=1month PurgeStepAfter=1month PurgeSuspendAfter=1month PurgeTXNAfter=12month PurgeUsageAfter=24month LogFile=/var/log/slurm/slurmdbd.log PidFile=/var/run/slurmdbd.pid NOTE: Removing the PluginDir directive makes no difference.

Slurm version 24.11.1 is now available
by Marshall Garey 24 Jan '25

24 Jan '25

We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm version 24.11.1. This fixes a few possible crashes of the slurmctld and slurmrestd; a regression in 24.11 which caused file transfers to a job with sbcast to not join the job container namespace; mpi apps using Intel OPA, PSM2 and OMPI 5.x when ran through srun; and various minor to moderate bugs.

Hi all, When trying to start slurmd, it is failing with cgroup issues. Any suggestions on where to troubleshoot this issue? x8000c0s0b0n0:~ # slurmd -V slurm 24.11.0 x8000c0s0b0n0:~ # slurmd -D -vvv slurmd: debug: Log file re-opened slurmd: debug2: hwloc_topology_init slurmd: debug2: hwloc_topology_load slurmd: debug2: hwloc_topology_export_xml slurmd: debug: CPUs:288 Boards:1 Sockets:4 CoresPerSocket:72 ThreadsPerCore:1 slurmd: error: Couldn't find the specified plugin name for cgroup/v2 looking at all files slurmd: error: cannot find cgroup plugin for cgroup/v2 slurmd: error: cannot create cgroup context for cgroup/v2 slurmd: error: Unable to initialize cgroup plugin slurmd: error: slurmd initialization failed x8000c0s0b0n0:~ # mount | grep cgroup cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot) x8000c0s0b0n0:~ # grep cgroup /etc/slurm/slurm.conf ProctrackType=proctrack/cgroup TaskPlugin=task/affinity,task/cgroup Thanks!
